PLAY SAFE 2025 IS HERE!
Small Talk is Bigger Than You Think.
This year, we’re asking adults in football to give young people a voice.
To create open conversations, ask questions, and actively listen to children.
Watch, Listen, Talk and Act
You’re invited to the Play Safe Weekend!
We’re encouraging all clubs and leagues to show their support for an ever-safer game and take part in Play Safe 2025.
Grassroots club and league officials will receive a link to this year’s invite. Here, you can:
• Choose which activation(s) you’ll do

Join us in making the beautiful game ever-safer for Everyone, Everywhere, Every Time.
Why is Play Safe important?
Anyone’s love of football can be taken away by negative behaviour and abuse. Safeguarding prevents this from happening. A Play Safe weekend at the start of each season is there to put safeguarding at the forefront of people’s minds. It reminds everyone to watch, listen, talk, act in every football environment.

When everyone knows their role, together we create an ever-safer game.
Three survivors’ stories of sexual abuse in football
